Announcing Our SFC Sustainer Circle!
In July of 2016, we launched a new initiative - our SFC Sustainer Circle. Over the last year, we have been honored to have 37 individuals join us as sustaining champions of our mission. These Sustainer Circle Founders have collectively helped raise over $60,000 for our mission. These annual sustaining gifts are the most effective way to ensure the longevity of our work and the momentum we’ve built in this critical food movement. We'd like to thank these individuals for their continued generosity and support, and their work to help increase access to healthy, affordable food for everyone in Central Texas. Please visit our website if you'd like to learn more about our SFC Sustainer Circle and ways you can help us address hunger relief, increase food access, and support sustainable agriculture and the overall health and well-being of Central Texans.
